Mesh Payments, a travel and expense management platform, announced a strategic partnership with Altour, a TMC. This collaboration, according to the announcement, aims to deliver a fully integrated, technology-forward solution that simplifies corporate travel and expense management for a wide range of customer profiles, from regional to global enterprises.
By combining Altour’s travel management services with Mesh’s unified global travel and expense management and reconciliation platform, said the announcement, the partnership provides enterprises with a “seamless, high-touch solution that enhances operational efficiency and cost control while improving the traveler experience.”
Oded Zehavi, CEO of Mesh, said, “By expanding our TMC network with Altour’s comprehensive inventory, we’re empowering organizations to select the best travel solutions for their specific needs while maintaining a unified, automated approach to expense management.” This flexibility, he said, “is crucial for modern global enterprises that require different TMC solutions based on regional needs.”
The integration, said the announcement, merges Altour’s extensive multi-channel travel content with Mesh’s automated travel and expense capabilities, allowing travelers to book through their preferred channels — whether online, offline or direct — while maintaining centralized spend control. This flexibility ensures that organizations can retain their preferred travel booking experience while automating expense capture, policy compliance and reconciliation.
Gabe Rizzi, president of Altour, said the partnership with Mesh “brings together best-in-class travel management with cutting-edge expense automation, helping enterprises streamline operations while delivering exceptional traveler experiences.”
